“The Woodpecker room is the larger of the two rooms in the main house, providing a small living room area, with small fridge and a microwave, as well as a private washroom with bathtub. This room comfortably met our needs. For those with mobility challenges it is on the upper floor at the top of a long flight of stairs. The other room is on the main floor.” (jimt366)

Anneke and Jeff were the warmest of hosts, while the breakfast was other-worldly. We have already begun to recommend this gem to my friends and we hope to visit again ourselves. Throughout our stay we felt at home while we were free to explore the gorgeous grounds and experience the wildlife of the area which includes hummingbirds, pileated woodpeckers, deer,...

An elegant and welcoming home created by friendly and sophisticated hosts, in a peaceful woodland setting with humming-birds by the bedroom window, and a beautifully presented breakfast. Visit the beautiful waterfall in the nearby park to see what Vancouver Island used to look like before urban sprawl.

My ex and I were on the island this past April, and had the wonderful experience of staying a couple nights at Cedar Song. I have to say, I cannot recommend this place enough; it was above and beyond any expectations that we had had.
We were able to book somewhat last minute, and Anneke and Jeff couldn't have been...

I was travelling alone and attending a May wedding in the Errington, BC area. I decided to combine my visit with tourism.
Arrangements for Cedar Song Bed and Breakfast were made via email and telephone. Communication prior to arrival was friendly and helpful. The nearest settlement is the tiny village of Errington. This Bed and Breakfast is surrounded by forest....

An ideal location for nature lovers, especially for those interested in birds. Anneke's and Jeff's hospitality was insuperable and we felt being as at home. The breakfast and table setting was superb.

This is a lovely bed and breakfast. The hosts, Anneke and Jeff, were charming and the breakfast was scrumptious. Their property is wooded with lots of birds. I stayed there on my way to Pacific Rim National Park but there are a large number of natural attractions right in that area as well.

My partner and I just got back from Vancouver Island and can't say enough about our stay with Anneke and Jeff at Cedar Song. The room was cozy and comfy, the breakfasts were amazing, and the quiet, peaceful surroundings served as a perfect backdrop for a wonderful getaway. Most of all, it was such a treat to get to know...

My husband and I were so fortunate to have found Cedar Song on a recent trip to Vancouver Island!! We needed to get away from the craziness of everyday life and this was the perfect place! Cloistered in the woods, Jeff and Anneke's warm and spacious log home was cozy and quiet. From Jeff's greeting in the driveway (it seemed...

Dear Ali and M.
Thank you for such lovely time you brought into our house.
Just so you know, we are not always standing in the driveway waiting for people. However, you find us mostly outside in the afternoon, keeping up the grounds and/ or chasing away the deer. We do enjoy the woodpecker visits. The robins will let us...

This bed and breakfast was a peaceful retreat from our regular city life. The home is nestled among mature cedar trees and provided an opportunity for us to connect with the birds and rabbits that call this place home. A thoroughly enjoyable time out in the county.
